Prayer for a friend's healing
(a prayer for restoration for a friend who is ill)

You are soft like a pillow, come comfort her (his) mind.
You are warm like a blanket, wrap her safely inside.
You are bright like the sunlight, let hope fill her heart.
You are soothing like birdsong, bring joy make her laugh.
You are cleansing like water, flood through and restore.
You are healing, Lord Jesus in your name and power.

Prayer for healing of cancer for a friend

Almighty God,

You are the beginning and the end
You hold all things together.
You are love released and redeemed
You are the rock on which we stand.
You are the hope we ride upon
You are the power of life over death.
You are the one to whom we cry “Abba”
Abba, Abba Father, be near my beloved friend.
Come and touch the cancerous cells
Each part that has disorder
Each fragment that needs to shrink
Each mass that must go!

Lord, we love you and we wait upon you.

Amen.

O Lord,

Be so close beside my dear one. Come whisper words of great hope into their hearts. Shut out the pain, the worry and fear and wrap them up within your soft, gentle love.
Bless the efforts of the surgeons who have worked to bring life and healing to his/her body. Please protect and keep him/her in your rest and care. May they know your presence close by each day.

Amen.
